二、阅读理解
In children’s eyes, Mother is perfect. In my mind, my mother is good at doing everything except(除了)cooking. I still remember what happened on my father’s birthday when I was young.
For the important day, I made a birthday card and prepared a beautiful song as my gifts. And my mother made a special plan. She did some cleaning early in the morning. Then she began to cook a big meal. Three hours later, we were so hungry, but there were only two dishes on the table—a salad and a roast duck. We all wanted to have the roast duck as soon as possible because it was our favourite. Unluckily, it looked terrible in colour and tasted bad! I complained(抱怨)and only ate a little. However, my father didn’t complain at all. Instead, he ate one more piece of the duck and smiled at my mother, “Good taste, I love it! Thank you, dear! It’s the best roast duck I have ever had!” Mother smiled happily and said, “Happy birthday, my dear!”
I couldn’t understand what my father said and did at that time. I thought he must have a taste problem. Ten years passed and my father has become a 50-year-old man. He still loves the food my mother cooks, though she hasn’t become a good cook yet. As time goes by, I come to know that no one is perfect, including(包括)my mother. Nothing is perfect, including my family. But love can make it different. If there is love, home will become the sweetest place in the world.
